Diamond-Charging – Automatic Charging for Trucks
In the quest for autonomous transportation, a key challenge is automatic charging. If an autonomous truck will need its battery re-charged during long haul drive, it will require automated charging at the charging station.
If an autonomous truck has a short circular duty cycle (logistic hubs, Airports, mines, seaports) – it is only logical to charge it several times during the day in-order to minimize battery cost and weight. This can be done only with automatic charging.
And even before the autonomous truck’s era – there are strong arguments for the use of automatic charging today!
- Safety – No falling over cables in the depot. No collisions with charging stations.
- Reducing driver’s tasks or avoiding need for a charging personnel.
- Option of reducing battery size and weight for opportunity charging cases.
- Gaining valuable area for parking bays in the charging depot.
In certain cases, Diamond Charging may save 10-15% of total fleet’s cost! Let us show you how!
Diamond-Charging developed the Top-Down Automatic Device* and the Truck’s Receiver* to meet the industry standards and the OppCharge requirements.
*The Top-Down Automatic Device and the Truck’s Receiver are Patent Pending.
